Question on computer to monitor connection

[David Cowling]

I have recently updated my display monitor and am wondering whether there is any particular advantage to the computer to monitor display connection. The monitor is an AsusPA 2482J with 4 different type of connection ports. However my computer has only 2 types of connection, VGA and HDMI. I am currently connected using VGA cable which seems to be fine, but I was wondering whether the performance would be even better if I used HDMI cable connection. Advice very welcome. I would have to purchase a HDMI cable but that is no problem.
